Thanks for taking the time to put this on Worg. I wish I had had such a concise summary of the various flavors of emacs on different platforms when I started exploring org-mode. I was wondering if you could elaborate on the following. Are you suggesting that new users should never use M-x customize? ,---- | The biggest pain, when you just begin with Emacs, is the configuration. | There is not really a menu for it (you might later hear there is, but | they are lying, that menu is really there to trap innocent people), you | need to edit a text-file. `---- A few comments: 1. Some of the "step-by-step" instructions might be a bit easier to follow in list format (rather than paragraphs). 2. If I were reading the tutorial for the first time, I might conclude that I had to place "#-*- mode: org -*-" at the top of all my org files, even after configuring auto-mode-alist. 3. Why C-x b 2.org --> M-x org-mode --> C-x C-s as the recommended workflow? Once the configuration file is set up, C-x C-f 2.org will bring one right into org-mode. Thanks again for all the work you've put into this. Best, Matt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
